  It is worth pointing out that the number of RCs is a moving target.
  When we started this six months ago or so, there were 63 RCs -- which
  would require 32 positive votes to pass.  According to a statistic
  posted in the past Fido Newsletter,  There are now 60 RCs (which was
  also reported as 58 a week or two before).   The number of positive
  votes will depend on just how many RCs are in the nodelist when Ward
  calls for the vote.   It is possible that in parallel with that he
  will exert pressure in other zones to eliminate RCs who are not really
  there, and will do the same in his own zone (the largest).

  Since he already has some RC votes for a change in policy, I hope that
  he can get the required majority quickly once he has a proposal for
  the RCs who really exist to look at.
